NEW YORK -- Mark Teixeira and Robinson Cano supplied the early offense that ended Joel Pineiro's seven-game winning streak, and the New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles Angels 10-6 Wednesday to split their two-game series.
Rookie pinch-hitter Colin Curtis, who inherited an 0-2 count after Brett Gardner was ejected, added a three-run homer in the seventh inning that made it 10-5. Cano and Juan Miranda also connected for the Yankees, who finished 4-4 against the Angels this season after defeating them in last year's AL Championship Series.
Pitching on 10 days' rest, Javier Vazquez (8-7) nearly squandered a six-run cushion, withering quickly in the sweltering humidity on an 88-degree afternoon that felt like hot soup. But the right-hander hung on just long enough -- with major help from the bullpen -- for his 150th career win, becoming the third active pitcher to beat all 30 major league teams.
The Yankees said San Francisco's Barry Zito and Philadelphia's Jamie Moyer are the others, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
